    Wang Jingjiu stood on the wall of the north gate of Jinhua City in shock.  The Japanese army was launching an attack. Under the leadership of officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels, the Japanese soldiers shouted slogans of loyalty to the emperor and rushed towards Jinhua City.  Seeing the ferocious faces of many Japanese soldiers through the telescope, Wang Jing was frightened for a long time. A night of escaping had already made him lose his cool. He said in a trembling voice: "General Wu Ming, this the Japanese army is coming What are you going to do with it?"  How many men and guns can we defend Jinhua?" Seeing Wang Jingjiu's incoherent words, Wu Ming did not laugh at him, but waved his hand to reassure him: "Commander, you can rest assured, Jinhua City will not be lost in my hands." Wang  How can Jingjiu rest assured?  At this time, many troops on the front line in eastern Zhejiang have not yet withdrawn. He has already lost Dapanshan, the most important defensive position to the north of Jinhua City. If Jinhua City is lost, the Central Army, which is currently still moving to the hinterland of western Zhejiang in the Kuocang Mountain and Tiantai Mountain areas, will  If he would be surrounded by the Japanese army, Principal Jiang would definitely remove him from his post and investigate. Just think about the fate of Sun Yuanliang who abandoned his troops and fled during the Nanjing Defense War.  Wang Jingjiu put down his telescope, pulled Wu Ming's sleeves and asked anxiously: "General Wu Ming, just tell me the truth. How many troops do you plan to use to defend the North Gate of Jinhua?" "Judging from the strength of the Japanese army, this group  The attacking Japanese army only has one regiment, I think two regiments can repel the Japanese attack." Wu Ming held out two fingers.  "It's okay, it's okay" Wang Jingjiu was very happy.  Although the number of troops sent by Wu Ming was slightly smaller, considering the brilliant achievements of the New Second Army in the past, it should be about the same.  After all, the two regiments plus a regiment of the 63rd Division that originally defended the north gate of Jinhua. There is not much difference in strength between the two sides. In addition, the defenders have the protection of the city wall. They should be able to repel the Japanese attack. Thinking of this, Wang Jingjiu  I turned around to look for the officers and soldiers of the New Second World War, but I was a little disappointed - the walls were full of frightened officers and soldiers of the 63rd Division. Where were the officers and soldiers of the New Second World War?  Wang Jingjiu quickly pulled Wu Ming: "General Wu, hurry up and tell your soldiers to go to the city wall. The Japanese army will be approaching soon." "Bang bang¡ª¡ª" At this time, the soldiers deployed at the foot of Triangle Mountain and Lion Mountain  The Japanese infantry artillery began to show its power. Although the number was small, the shells that continued to fall from the city were still shocking. At the same time, the Japanese army deployed more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the starting positions south of Ni Village and Gaocun.  , began to spit out tongues of fire, and countless bullets poured towards the city head like raindrops.  The officers and soldiers of the 63rd Division quickly retracted their heads into the city wall, and broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the intensive "whoosh" sound of bullets passing over their heads.  Wu Ming was unmoved, pointing at the new officers and soldiers of the Second Army who were pouring out of the north gate, smiling at Wang Jingjiu and saying: "Commander, look over there." Wang Jingjiu didn't look at it for a long time. It was okay, but he was frightened when he saw it.  .  He originally thought that Wu Ming would send two regiments of officers and soldiers to defend the city wall, but he never expected that the New Second Army would choose to take the initiative to defend the peripheral positions outside the north gate of Jinhua City.  Wang Jingjiu said anxiously: "General Wu Ming, how can you show off your courage at this time? The Japanese army is coming fiercely, and it is not easy to defend on the city wall. What if we take the initiative to fight against the Japanese army in the field and are defeated? At that time, it is impossible for the defenders to launch an attack  Let them in through the city gate." "Commander, don't worry. Whenever we, the soldiers of the New Second Army, face the enemy, they will stab their opponents in the stomach first, even if they die." Wu Ming's face was filled with tears.  It's pride.  "This" Wang Jingjiu was very anxious: "General Wu, fighting on the city wall has great advantages, why do you give up such favorable conditions and use it?" Wu Ming was helpless and pointed to the west of the city: "The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway passes through the city.  Pass, cross the Jinhua River from the southwest of the city, and then follow the south bank of the Qujiang River to Longyou and Quzhou. Once the Japanese army gains a foothold at the north gate, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and take over the area outside the west gate. By then, our railway line will be ready.  They are controlled by the Japanese army. I want to take advantage of the Japanese army's unsteady foothold to give them a good beating, and then stabilize the defense line at the Jinhua River, Triangle Mountain, Lion Rock and Baiwang Mountain." "At the same time, I have sent troops to strengthen Jinhua.  Defend from Bailong Bridge on the west bank of the Yangtze River to Lianhu Yangcun, and wait for an opportunity to recapture the Mouse Mountain and Eagle Peak defense lines south of Qujiang River. "What, choose this time to attack?" Wang Jingjiu opened his mouth in surprise.  Wu Ming couldn't stand Wang Jingjiu's surprise and shook his head: "Commander, if you are tired, you can go down and rest. If you can persist, we can watch a good show next." Seeing Wu Ming  Seemingly confident, Wang Jingjiu had no choice but to hide all his doubts in his heart and accompany Wu Ming to watch the offensive and defensive battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies.  At this time, two regiments of the New Second Army had entered the blocking position outside the north gate.  The front and rear positions are three-fold, connected by traffic ditches, and the defense facilities are relatively complete. They were built under Wang Jingjiu's personal supervision, and there are no quality problems.    Hiding in such a position, the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army did not launch an attack immediately, but gathered their strength to prepare for the next battle.  Lieutenant Colonel Sato, captain of the 109th Regiment of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, suddenly became happy when he looked at the defenders who took the initiative to go out of the city to fight.  The Japanese army took down such a strong position in Dapan Mountain in one breath. The defenders in front of them dared to take the initiative to attack. They were too brave.  At this time, the Japanese soldiers advancing at high speed were about to reach the outer position, and Lieutenant Colonel Sato issued an order to speed up the attack.  Amidst the dense sound of whistles, the running Japanese quickened their pace again. The dense figures gradually gathered together, and finally gathered into a sharp saber and rushed towards the defensive position of the New Second Army.  Until this time, the officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the New Second Army had not fired back. Wang Jingjiu on the rear city wall became anxious and shouted at Wu Ming: "Commander Wu, your troops will not be scared to death, right? Let your officers and soldiers go quickly."  Fight back. Wu Ming said nothing, silently watching everything in front of him, turning a deaf ear to all the sounds. "Bang, bang -" followed by the eighteen Bayi mortars and mortars deployed in Shilipu Village, about a mile outside the north gate.  Thirty-six 60 mortars fired one after another, and a series of explosions sounded among the Japanese troops. In less than a minute, the dense shells plunged the attacking Japanese troops into a sea of ??fire and smoke, and the Japanese soldiers fell in rows like wheat.  The ground. Sato Zhongsa's eyes almost popped out. He quickly picked up his binoculars to look for the opponent's mortar position, and was about to order the infantry to suppress the Chinese army's artillery. At this moment, there was a loud sound from behind.  He quickly threw Lieutenant Colonel Sato to the ground. When the intensive explosions passed, Lieutenant Colonel Sato pushed away the guard who was pressing on him. When he looked back, he was stunned - the regiment's eight infantry artillery pieces and sixteen  The heavy machine gun was destroyed. Both the artillery position and the heavy machine gun position were in a mess. There were pieces of flesh and blood and broken limbs everywhere. Not even the people, guns or artillery were intact. This has not stopped yet. Lieutenant Colonel Sato is here.  At the reminder of the guard, he looked at the battlefield ahead. He was so surprised that his mouth could almost hold a rotten egg. "Tick-tock-" The officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the New Second Army had already opened fire. At a distance of one hundred meters, there was a dense burst of fire.  The explosive packets fell, and then the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns rushed out of the position and greeted the Japanese soldiers desperately with their weapons Bullets, bullets, bullets. The Japanese soldiers who were charging were first hit by gasoline.  The explosive packets ejected from the barrel were blown to pieces, and those who were lucky enough to survive were dizzy. Then they were suddenly counterattacked by the New Second Army. The rain of bullets swept past, and the Japanese fell to the ground, and there were more  There was a violent wave. The brave sergeants who rushed forward had already been wiped out by the dense explosive packs. The officers in the queue who were wielding sabers and commanding the troops were sieved by bullets, shells, and more shells.  The artillery fired grenades at a super high rate of fire, and the overwhelming shells left the Japanese soldiers with no place to hide and no way to escape. Although the Japanese soldiers were brave, they were already exhausted after a night of continuous fierce fighting. They had only relied on their blood before.  But now I see people around me falling to the ground, and the sky is covered with shells and bullets. Now I have no energy left. I barely resisted for a while, and more people died. Under this situation, it was inevitable.  After the defeat, the Japanese troops retreated towards the Lion Mountain in the Triangle Mountain River, while the defenders' mortars pursued them. Whenever the Japanese troops wanted to stop and reorganize their defense lines, they were quickly broken up by dense shells. The New Second Army was quickly divided into two regiments.  From the left and right directions, they pursued the Japanese army vigorously "It all happened very quickly, and the offensive and defensive reversals took place in less than a quarter of an hour, as if God was making a joke.  Wang Jingjiu was dumbfounded and sighed secretly that the New Second Army was really well-trained and well-equipped, but what impressed him most was the high degree of coordination of the troops. The cooperation between the infantry and artillery was flawless. This was far from an ordinary army.  It can be done.  Wang Jingjiu turned his head and looked at Wu Ming, who had an indifferent expression. The New Second Army was able to achieve today's results, which is well-deserved, but it can also be thought of Wu Ming's great efforts.  Wang Jingjiu is an upright soldier and has always believed in the supremacy of strength.  He cupped his hands towards Wu Ming and said solemnly: "General Wu, this time I am convinced by you, completely convinced I am no longer jealous of the achievements of the New Second Army, because I have no confidence at all.  "Training such a steel army" "Thank you, Commander, our New Second Army can achieve some modest results on the anti-Japanese battlefield, mainly because of the dedication of the soldiers. I am not as great as you think." Wu Ming waved his hand and smiled lightly.  : "Besides, this battle was not commanded by me." "Oh? If it wasn't you, who could it be?" Wu Ming's answer made Wang JingJiu was surprised.  Wu Ming shouted in the distance: "Yang Si Xian, come here." Yang Si  Looking for me?" "Commander, I am here to be a spectator in this battle just like you. He is the one who is actually commanding the battle." Wu Ming pointed at Yang Sixian and smiled at Wang Jingjiu: "This battle.  From planning and organization to final implementation, he led the New Third Division. My biggest role was to sign his combat report." Wang Jingjiu carefully observed Yang Sixian from top to bottom, and finally sighed: "Yang.  The division commander was able to control the entire battle, and his commanding ability was not inferior to that of the famous generals in ancient times. " "Commander, you are very grateful." Yang Sixian had a fever on his face and was a little at a loss.  Wu Ming waved his hand and asked Yang Si to return to the command position. Then he said humbly to Wang Jingjiu: "Commander, please stop praising him. We have several officers like this in the New Second Army -" "Huh?"  Wang Jingjiu looked at Wu Ming with surprised eyes, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed: "There are talents in every generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years. It is really high. The New Second Army has many capable people. Officers like Commander Yang can grow up quickly."  "In the final analysis, Commander Wu is good at running the army." "You're so polite, Commander, you are so polite." Although he felt comfortable being flattered by Wang Jingjiu, Wu Ming was still very humble on the surface.  At this time, the fighting outside the city continued.  The Japanese army launched an attack rashly before they could gain a firm foothold, which resulted in a very poor defense. As a result, the New Second Army countercharged, and the Japanese army was defeated and its own defense line was broken down.  In less than two hours, the New Second Army occupied the commanding heights in the north of Jinhua City from Baiwang Mountain in the northeast to the Lion Rock and Triangle Mountain in the southwest to the Jinhua River, consolidating the northern defense line of Jinhua.
